Hi,

The resolution is not great and neither is the image quality. One can hallucinate a right paramidline osteophytic/disc bridge, possibly a broad disc fragment but way more information is needed (and better image quality too) to make that call. One would need to see several slices above and below the one you sent and correlate with several sagittal slices with both T1 and T2 studies to compare.
